[TomClash]

1. why investigate?

the bushies already know what happened.

[BlueEyedSon]

2. It's only the most significant geopolitical event in history..... nt

[Maple]

5. In history???

Not even close.

[BlueEyedSon]

8. Just wait (for ALL the fallout)

Ok, MY lifetime (b. 1960)

But seriously, the PNAC has used this even to consolidate political power, jam thought the PATRIOT ACT, we WILL attack Iran next.....

If you don't think the catalyzing even that precipitates WW4 is important, then please tell me what is????

[Maple]

9. It's important

to Americans, and in your lifetime, but as world events go...it's a minor matter.

It won't start WW4 either.

[SmokingJacket]

10. well, if that was a minor matter, then Clinton's sexcapade was a

nano-matter.

The point still stands, I think.

[Maple]

11. Clinton's sexcapade

was a scratch-the-head matter outside the US, and non-existant on the scale of important world events.

Much like 911 is a minor matter.

Now tomorrow's 60th anniversary might be considered as registering on the world scale by some....

12. I agree that calling it

the "most significant geoplotical event in history" is somewhat self centered.

But it has had implications that will affect the course of world history for many years to come. Calling it a minor matter understates it importance. I would certainly place it as being one of the most significant events in the last decade.

OTOH, Clinton's bj was a non event. 9/11 was not on the same scale.

[Maple]

14. Only to

Americans I'm afraid.

[fujiyama]

15. I'm afraid Iraqis, and Afghans would disagree

considering the administration used 9/11 as a pretext to invade those countries.

At the minimum the events and the aftermath have led to the death of some 50k people.

I'd atleast say that's more significant than a BJ in the oval office.

[Maple]

16. No they wouldn't

Iraq was bombed illegally for 12 years before Bush came along, and they've been invaded before many times over the centuries. By the British and many others...their king is long gone, and Saddam was a western imposition. Bush didn't do that.

Afghanistan has fought off both the British and the Russians among others. Everyone since Alexander the Great. And if everybody left, it would be the war lords against the Taliban again.

Americans aren't news, or even different.

The bj had no signifigance whatever...nor did anyone claim it did.

What Republicans spend on a political campaign is an internal matter.

3. We don't have time or money to investigate: We're at WAR.

[wli]

4. they dare not investigate; Bushler, Cheney, & Rummy did it

[JohnnyBoots]

6. Wow, that should be on a billboard......blew my mind and

I thought I was fairly well informed!

[Triana]

7. Investigate What?

LIHOP/MIHOP

'nuff said.

[fujiyama]

13. Who needs to investigate

and find the truth when it's easier to exploit it and use at as an issue to bring about fearand paranoia.
